Description of the situation: Lenox parents died and therefore his grandmother took care of him. She is a housewife and has no income. She depends solely on donations. Therefore the boy was placed in an orphanage Island of Hope, where he goes to school too. In 2023 he attends third grade of secondary school. He needs a higher amount of support - 16,800 CZK/660Eur per year- that include the cost of accommodation, food and governess in an orphanage.

The project of remote support „Adoptions of African children“ mediates an access to education for poor Kenyan children without pulling them out of their natural environment and community. This project has been running since 2002 and has helped more than 3500 children. School fees at primary school are CZK 7200 (€300) / year, and at secondary school, college and orphanage are CZK 16800 (€660). The payment can also be broken down into multiple instalments.

Section of detailed information provides an overview of how this projects works. In case you have already chosen a child from our database, you can also find here all the steps to be taken in order to adopt a child remotely.

You can also provide the adoptive children by health insurance, that covers any medical treatment the child needs during 1 year.
